I think it's fine to have the same fixture in both rooms. After all, who's really going to know besides you and whoever lives with you? Most guests don't see your bedroom. If you know them and you like them, I say go ahead. But what I really want to know is, what's going on with that chair on the right? Looks like a recliner with a big head on top, maybe with a Mohawk? Oh wait, as I look again, maybe the lighting is tricky and that is a sculpture on the end table? Did anyone else think it was part of the chair? I digress...keep in mind I'm looking on an iPad screen. It's probably obvious on a larger screen!

No, I need the sconces for general lighting. So up or down or both lighting works. The FR currently has cathedral ceiling. But we may add the 2nd floor masterbedroom on top, so I didn't do any recessed lights, etc. I have the fan for additional general lighting. The hutch has undercabinet lighting, and lighting w/in the 3 glass upper cabinets, AND maybe upward light from the hutch top molding. 1 sconce on the left for some light near the sofa. 1 sconce on right for the mudroom area. We can also add more lighting on TOP of the mudroom lockers (like library shelf lighting), if needed. Dilly: oooh, those look nice. Especially the Tuckahoe with the historical nickel bowl (instead of the glass bowl). As for the barn door, that's the problem. I can go either way and there is no definitive direction. 1 con of glass = finger prints w/ messy kids (and DH). 1 con of barn = I can't peak at my future teenagers trying to make out or watch Rated R tv. The door will be open ~75+% of the time. I'll close them if the kids/their friends are too noisy when the adults are enjoying their wine in the other room, etc.

I agree with RL that the power to those sconces could be routed into the ceiling for more recessed lighting in the living space adjacent to the kitchen. In all honesty, the sconces (and any that you might replace them with) really do a disservice to the room. They create a focal point - the intersection of the wall and ceiling. That’s nothing you need to look at twice! They really don’t appear to add much to the ambient lighting in the room, they just highlight a really peculiar feature of the room.

Just painting what you have white and making sure you have installed LED bulbs could help without spending any additional funds. You can always switch to swingarm library conces to highlight any art to install on the walls.
